NORSA Triathlon Competes at The Nation's Triathlon!

The last weekend in September was a first for Team NORSA and the DC Area. Saturday, September 29th was the first full running of The Nation's Triathlon. Tri-Team members Adam and Steve Long donned the famed yellow jerseys and raced around Washington D.C.'s famous landmarks.

This Olympic distance triathlon started with a 1500 meter swim in the Potomac River. Racers jumped in the water at Georgetown and swam upriver, turning around just before the Key Bridge and coming back. [as a side note, this was the first time anybody had swum legally in the river in 36 years due to a health-related ban dating back to 1971. See the full story here: http://www.nbc4.com/news/14235479/detail.html].

After exiting the water, Steve and Adam hopped on their bikes and made a 40 km, two-lap loop around the city before strapping on running shoes and making their way to the finish line on Pennsylvania avenue with the Capitol building serving as a backdrop.
